On  motion  of  R.  P.  Fischelis,  it  was  voted  that  the  College  send 
a  congratulatory  message  to  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation on  the  occasion  of  the  celebration  of  its  Fiftieth  Anniversary 
this  coming  summer. 
Dr.  Wm.  Dufheld  Robinson  stated  he  had  conversations  with  a 
number  of  physicians  who  were  also  graduates  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  and  who  were  favorably  impressed  with  the 
idea  of  the  Centenary  celebration,  and  he  suggested  the  appointment 
of  a  Committee  to  consider  organizing  the  physician-pharmacists 
into  an  alumni  association  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  the  College  and 
contributing  to  the  success  of  the  Centenary  celebration.  After 
some  discussion,  Dr.  Robinson  moved  that  the  President  appoint  a 
committee  to  consider  such  an  organization.  Seconded  and  so 
ordered. 
A  symposium  on  the  Centenary  celebration  followed.  Prof. 
E.  F.  Cook  was  the  first  speaker.  He  was  very  enthusiastic  and 
optimistic  over  the  project.  He  thought  the  Alumni  Association 
would  be  very  active.  Groups  in  every  organization  could  be 
utilized.  He  wanted  to  see  the  College  heartily  sustained  as  a 
leader  in  the  science  of  pharmacy,  as  well  as  in  practical  work; 
the  advanced  courses  recently  introduced  and  the  extension  of  re- 
search work  were  dominant  factors  in  maintaining  the  standing  of 
the  College. 
R.  P.  Fischelis  mentioned  the  recent  celebration  of  the  looth 
anniversary  of  Colgate  University.  They  had  an  enthusiastic 
Alumni  Association  and  one  of  great  activity.  Fifteen  hundred  of 
its  three  thousand  graduates  were  present  and  had  worked  hard 
for  the  success  of  the  celebration.  It  was  an  object  lesson  for  us. 
Publicity  work  was  needed  to  attract  students,  and  the  student  co- 
operation was  desirable,  and  that  of  many  others,  especially  the 
help  of  the  large  manufacturing  houses  of  the  country,  a  number  of 
whom  had  in  their  organizations  graduates  of  the  P.  C.  P. 
Dr.  P.  S.  Stout  was  in  favor  of  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Robinson. 
It  would  be  one  element  of  success  in  the  Centenary  campaign.
